Product Details

Honey Malt is a unique malt produced by the Gambrinus Malting Corporation, a small malting company in Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada. It is made using a special process that develops distinctive flavors. The unique process puts Honey malt in the same family as German ‘brumalt’, and melanoidin malt. The result is an intense malt sweetness free from roasted or astringent flavors, with a characteristic honey-like flavor and golden color. It really doesn’t compare to any other malt. It’s unique qualities and sweet maltiness make it a perfect specialty malt in many styles. It can be used for up to 10% of the grist but the flavor can become assertive at higher usage rates. 20-30°L

I love it! I use it as part of my imperial cream ale recipe (in the full protein rest and mash) and it adds an outstanding flavor to my finished beer. Believe it or not NB is one of the cheaper places to buy grain and so far it’s been amazing availability for grains when I need them. I will buy again, I would subscribe for a 2.5% discount “winky face”.

I used 10oz. in an all-grain Lager brew I made, off-set with Liberty Bittering and Mt. Hood aroma hops. Spicy, fruity, & delicious!! Even my "uncultured canned-beer" buddies loved it! On my third batch now and I know it won't last long either, I'm sure.

As long as you are careful not to use too much, this malt is perfect to brew a nice honey wheat. I used it in a hoppy honey wheat and apart from some bitterness issues (because of hops not malt), it turned out very tasty.

Using honey can be awkward; however, using Gambrinus Honey Malt is not. Just add it to the mash or steep it on the side. It does not replicate the honey flavor but it is pretty close and you have more control over the finished product.

This grain was a standout for me. What initially set it apart was the aroma of buttered toast with peach jam. Not sure how that works, but that was my first impression. Used this in a specialty Braggot/Cyser, and it turned out sooo good. Very smooth, and retains that nice flavor and aroma of the grain. I find myself going back to this again and again. I currently have a Cider Ale with some of this thrown in for good measure, and I can't wait to use it in a future IPA I am planning.

No other malt like this. If you want the malty sweetness(not sugary but MALTY) to stand out this is your product. I do disagree with the amount used though, I never use more than 5%. A little goes a long way. Try it and it will become one of your secret ingredients too. If you want malt standout this is the stuff.

I can't believe there are no reviews on this stuff. This is without a doubt my favorite malt. This stuff is absolutely FANTASTIC in IPAs, pale ales and wheats. Any hop works good with it but anything citrusy paired with this malt is a match made in heaven. It's also awesome in honey amber type recipes and works really well in stouts and porters, too. I wouldn't go over 10%, though, unless you offset it with stronger flavored malts. It pairs wonderfully with Golden naked oats, too. 5 plus stars

Is honey used to make this malt? My wife is vegan so I need to know before I use it.

I can't say for 100% certainty, but I don't think it contains actual honey. Honey malt lends a honey flavor, but if the malt was actually flavored with honey it would just rinse in the brewing process and then ferment out. My thoughts.
